Challenge #4 over at the Simon Says Challenge blog is to make something for a GUY - young or old!! I needed a little gift tin for a 5 year old boy so I decided to make one and use my Simon Says Stamp set called BUGS! Can you get MORE "boy" than BUGS???? LOL The tin was a Chamomile tea tin that I recovered with My Mind's Eye paper. It was a perfect size for the gift (a bug catcher/holder and magnifying glass) and the Bug set was the icing on the cake!! :-)
Here are pictures of the 3 bugs I used and the lid. I added googly eyes to all the bugs and stickles to make them sparkle!
Head on over to

Aaawwww Chris, what a cute set you made for this little boy. He will carry it with him to hold his treasures and use that magnifying glass to "chek out" his bugs! Cute idea! Love the papers you used for this! Hugs, Cami

Chris this is too darn cute!
I loooove these! Been so long since I have visited you. I have missed seeing your masterpieces!
What a fun gift set, especially with the addition of the googly eyes. It works for the boys, but my DD would be a big fan, too!
Very cute box! Big idea, love the images!:)
